Compounded Semaglutide

Service Description

Compounded Semaglutide for Weight Loss Compounded Semaglutide is a custom formulation of a medication originally designed for type 2 diabetes management. When used for weight loss, Semaglutide works by mimicking the action of a natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate appetite, food intake, and blood sugar levels. This medication slows gastric emptying, increases feelings of fullness, and reduces hunger, making it easier to stick to a reduced-calorie diet. For weight loss, compounded Semaglutide is typically administered through a once-weekly injection, and it is often used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes diet and exercise. It can help individuals who struggle with obesity or weight-related health issues to lose weight more effectively and sustainably. Is Semaglutide Safe? Are There Side Effects? Semaglutide is generally considered safe when prescribed and used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, especially for weight loss or the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It has been approved by the FDA for both of these uses and has undergone extensive clinical testing to establish its safety and efficacy. However, like all medications, Semaglutide can have side effects, and it’s important to be aware of them before starting treatment. Common Side Effects of Semaglutide While many people tolerate Semaglutide well, there are some common side effects, particularly in the beginning stages of treatment. These may include: Nausea: This is the most commonly reported side effect, especially when first starting Semaglutide. It tends to subside over time as your body adjusts to the medication. Diarrhea: Some people experience gastrointestinal upset, including diarrhea. Constipation: In contrast to diarrhea, some individuals may experience constipation. Vomiting: Like nausea, vomiting may occur but often improves with time. Abdominal pain: Some users report mild stomach discomfort or bloating. Decreased appetite: Semaglutide works by reducing hunger, which may lead to reduced appetite and easier weight control. These side effects are usually mild and tend to lessen as your body adapts to the medication.
